nhedgehog, m4mmon, thank you for the great replies and the astounding research ! I am trying to reproduce this hack on my PocketBook Mini whose internal SDCard died and is now stuck in read-only mode.

From what I gather from your posts, the pocketbook checks the serial and CID of the sdcard to ascertain if it is genuine? And so we can trick monitor.app into reading the serial from a file? What I didn't get is what I should put in the .sd_original_serial file. Is it the serial of the old card? the serial of the new one? The CID of either of them?

Thanks a lot for your help!
